So I've got my kids old farm truck in the shop pulling it down for a clutch....

Normally on a top loading transmission I'd unbolt the top plate to remove the shifter and pieces to allow transmission to move back and out. On this transmission that's not an option. I do have a round *** cast into the case what looks like a pin that runs through the shifter. But the pin doesn't move with a drift.

So I thought that maybe a lock pin that pushes in from both sides and releases the shifter but doesn't seem to be want to .move.

Looked to see if the shift arm unscrew, and it doesn't seem to do that.

So I admit that after 50 years of turning wrenches I can't see how to pull the lever out... so then lower the transmission and slide it back..

Someone have a thought. Of course I'm hot and tired, and looking for some insite.

 

Not exactly sure what you hve or asking. If it is a granny transmission, (truck) in order to lift the shifter plate, and reinstall it, put the shifter half way in reverse.

 

Not sure exactly what you’re asking, but if you just need to remove the shifter; it has a lock ring at the base. Hit it with a little lubricant, push down and turn.
